Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette

If your sugar snap peas don’t disappear as fast as they do at my house, this is a good simple recipe in which to use them. This recipe comes from the July/August 2008 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon finely minced onion

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon honey

1 lb trimmed sugar snap peas

⅓ cup chopped nuts
